Julian Lennon Admits He's Not Part Of The Beatles' 'Inner Circle'

Julian Lennon may be the eldest son of John Lennon, but in a recent interview with The Guardian he admitted that he's not part of The Beatles' "inner circle" and never has been.

The subject came up when he was asked about his thoughts on the newfound interest surrounding the Fab Four after Peter Jackson's Get Back and Martin Scorsese's Beatles '64 documentaries. “It’s news to me half the time. I’m not part of the inner circle – I never have been," he said. "You have to realise that when Dad left, when I was between three and five (it was a bit of a process), it was just mum and me, and we had nothing to do with the Beatles or Dad."

“I visited him on the odd occasion but we were very much on the outside. I’m thankful that Sean [Lennon] and I get on like a house on fire – we’re best buddies and he tells me what he can, but things are pretty secret on the Beatles front.”

The secrecy doesn't bother Julian, though. “I’d rather be excited and impressed by what they did and continue to do," he gushed. "As a fan, I’m just as curious as anybody else, although I do find myself going, how is it possible that there’s another Beatles film?”
